Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy said Israel is ready for another round of fighting with Iran and has been producing missile interceptors continuously since October 7. Speaking at a conference organised by the Israeli-American Council, he declined to comment on reports of shortages but confirmed that production has been running around the clock.

 

Referring to the possibility of renewed conflict, Levy said, “We are ready, and we were born ready.” He also said he hopes Israel will take part in developing the “Golden Dome”, a multilayered air defence initiative proposed by US President Donald Trump for the United States.

 

 

Levy said missile defence against ballistic threats is the result of close cooperation between Israel and the United States, involving the Defence Ministry, the Pentagon and the Israel Defense Forces. He said Israel Aerospace Industries manufactures interceptors designed to destroy incoming missiles, noting that nearly 90 per cent were intercepted during the last clash.
